• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Cancer Hope Presents Cindy Stock twenty three, August twenty
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: first through the twenty second in Wetford, PA. Cindy Stock
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: twenty three. That blows my mind.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: It blows mine two. I can't even believe I've been
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: doing it this many years. And my husband is like, yeah, sure,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: invite two hundred and fifty strangers into the backyard.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, that'll be fun.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And I have you in every year. And for some reason,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you look younger now than the when we first started talking.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: How do you do that?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I went to Zuyoga this morning, so maybe I'm in Zenmo.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So so year twenty three, So obviously Cindy Stock is
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you know, an homage to Woodstock. So I'm saying I'm predicting.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that maybe through all the you know, the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: decades that you've been doing this, you've actually had more
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: people than at than the New York Concert.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I would love to believe that true, But
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: we haven't quite hit one hundred, I mean, five hundred
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: thousand people, not yet.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So trying for the people here maybe
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: so for the people who who've supported Cindy Stock every year,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: this is a reminder that it's coming up this week,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: coming up on Friday and Saturday.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But for those who aren't familiar with Cindy Stock, tell
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: us everything we need to know.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: It is a two day event.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: We have music, we have food, we have silent auctions,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: we have fun, and we have our extra special guest
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: this year, coming back for his fourth trip to Cindy Stock,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Henry Dilt, the original Woodstock photographer, who is going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: do a slide show. And even if you've come before,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: he and I are working on a little different slide
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: show this year, and so we hope that some of
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: these pictures are things you've never ever seen before in
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: his slide show, and some stories and it's just going
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to be a lot of fun.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And of course what is the what's the reason behind
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Cindy Starks Well, of.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Course the reason is that right now people are struggling
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: with costs of everything, and we feel that no person
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: should be left without an opportunity to get a cancer
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: screening test, regardless of their health insurance situation, and that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: only getting worse, and we want to be sure that
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: everybody has that opportunity. So we fund agencies that provide
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: free screenings or screenings irregardless of whether or not you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: have health insurance, and that's extremely important to us. The
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: other thing is the gaps. We want to make sure
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that people aren't falling through. And when you go through
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a cancer diagnosis, your whole world changes, and we don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: want you to feel unsupported or alone, and so we
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: support agencies like hair Peace Charities and Cancer Bridges who
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: both provide tremendous support services for people who are going
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: through cancer and not have to do it alone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: All right, So over two decades ago, you came up
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: with this idea to do this. Oh, oh, by the way,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: tell us where it is.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's in Wexford, PA. And yeah, it's in my backyard.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That's the best part.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And the parking is in our neighbor's backyard.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Thank God for them, and hope hopefully you get along
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: pretty well with you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: We have the best neighbors in the plan.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That's awesome, all right. So over two decades ago you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: came up with this idea and twenty three years later
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you're still doing it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It is a labor of love, There's no question. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: sometimes I cry in Aisle five of Costco when I think,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, how am I going to put us
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: all scars some stuff? But we have a tremendous team
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: of volunteers. And when the whole team comes together and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I look out at my backyard that is filled with
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: hundreds of people who are all coming together to make
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a huge difference. They're having fun and they're making a
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: difference for someone tomorrow.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: How can you beat that?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Now it's two days. It's coming up this Friday, August
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: twenty first. Now this is going to be featuring your
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: friend from Woodstock, your Woodstock friend. Now you also include meals.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Is that Friday or is that just Saturday?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: So on Friday night we will probably have pizza and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: soft drinks and some dessert along with an opening band
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: who does Woodstock and Krisby Sales Nash Type Music. They're fabulous,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the Sweet Duties, and then Henry Dilts will do his
